Autonomous Emergency Braking

[Crazy Dazz]

These new rules highlight he ongoing problems with Chinese cars, and China in general.

On PAPER, they look really well equipped. Because they supposedly have all these great features.
But read the actual consumer reviews, and it's the same story repeated, over and over. These features don't actually work, and the dealers simply can't fix them under warranty.

It's the same reason nobody would buy an Acer computer. All the components are made in the same factories as HP or Dell, and on average they're probably just as reliable. But the issue has always been the Chinese Attitude to warranty.

The AEB on MGs (including SIL's) is notorious for being so-bad than many owners get it disabled.

Now contrast that with a company like Mitsubishi. They've actually yanked a bunch of vehicles off the market. The ASX, Eclipse Cross, and Pajero Sport.
From March, AEB becomes mandatory on all new cars. Whilst it IS available on these models, Mitsubishi has deemed that it does not fully comply with the new rules (which are based on American standards.)

So can we expect the Chinese to pull their POSs? Off course not, they'll just keep bull-shitting like they've always done.

We've had no end of problems on projects, with suppliers trying to deliver dangerous crap that doesn't comply with Australian Standards, or worse fails ANZ ESS. And when rejected, they just update the paperwork to claim that the manufacturer has self-certified it.
The best was a MV Switchboard, wired entirely with a single colour of 10A cable.

Yes
Ccp cars
There’s a hilarious review
Of the deepal s07 or some sort of odd of name
All the driver assistance stuff doesn’t work
Properly and is over assertive

It’s on news corp sites

[MITCHAY]

For a long time I have just been about trying to keep my car going until I get a new car. But truth be told these days I'm thinking about trying to find a well kept old car to replace my current old car without all this crap

[Captain Stubing]

There's no need to solely blame the CCP for this problem, we have a Thailand manufactured DMAX at work that freaks out and intervenes when I try to do some urgent driving. It's not ideal.

None of these systems will be foolproof, because they depend on the input of various sensors, which are effected by the environment they're driving into... mud/rain/debris etc.

[prydey]

If AEB is being activated perhaps the device between the seat and steering wheel is faulty.

[kevino]

By Ccp I mean cars from China
A lot of the Chinese car Coys are owned by the Ccp Gov some are private

The Euros by review s seem to get these driver safety aids properly calibrated
Ccp and lesser extent Koreans struggle
I m not sure don’t know about Ram and GMSV
Ford I think also have their drivers safety aids well calibrated certainly my Puma is fine

That’s a sharp comment
A faulty steering wheel attendant

[peaterj]

My MG4 has 3 settings for the AEB Low Medium High, i drive around on Low and it's ok not aggressive at all.

[kevino]

Mg 4 seems one of the better Chinese cars
As a separate thread
There’s a few of us here very interested in a comprehensive owners review of Mg4
Be good if you could post your comments on all aspects of mg4

[MITCHAY]

Yes the person between the steering wheel and seat is faulty. In times gone by they used their ****ing eyes! And ****ing mirrors too!

Did they though?

Nope,have had them shit the bed multiple times on a couple of examples.

Over taking and not indicating, not pulling out into the oncoming or passing lane early enough or when the speed differential between my vehicle and the one I’m passing is too great.

When someone infront of you is turning off and using a slip lane or the lane is wide enough for half their car and your car, you go or attempt to go around them staying within your lane, or you maintain current speed and road position knowing they’re going to turn in a couple of seconds, and it goes mental.

Far from ideal, especially the over taking manoeuvre where your attention is concentrated elsewhere and next thing the car is setting off all sorts of warning and starts to brake.

You've obviously never driven a dmax or bt50.
It'll freak out at nothing, and usually a second after you've already avoided the threat. And then the lane keeping tries to steer you back into it. Don't expect a quick power out of a sticky situation either, because of the built in 2-4 second delay, to the point of having to stall it up at busy roundabouts (but not too much otherwise it has another hissy fit). If it works and you get power, it'll spin the wheels then aswell, without the traction control doing a damn thing about it. It's total garbage.
I've heard the same from mates with other new cars too. Good ideas in theory, don't really work though.

Didn't ancap come out last year basically saying don't blame us because the driver aids are shitty and don't work properly?

Hyundai can't even get throttle response and cruise control to work properly, let alone AEB and some of the other driver AIDS modern cars are fitted with,

Cars peaked in 2017 when the VF Commodore was executed, everything since then has been a joke.

I'm like the modern equivalent of that person who said cars died in 1980 when they stopped producing the CM Valiant.

With the exception of VT onwards Holden and B series onwards Fords, demise of the car is when they stopped offering ash trays and cigarette lighters.

Lets compromise and say up to the end of the VY where the best engine ever made (3.8L Ecotec) was discontinued.

BA/BF Falcon need not apply though

I’ll rephrase.
With the exception of those models, anything without an ashtray and cigarette lighter isn’t worth owning.

[MITCHAY]

Even my WRX has a ciggie lighter and ash tray. I have used it less than a handful of times but it has been a backup

[XR Martin]

The reverse autonomous braking is even worse, slams the brakes on the same as if you actually hit something.
Scares the crap out of you when it's freaking out over just a tall weed.

I must say the AEB in a Pajero Sport was useful for me once, I was coming up on a crest and a car had stopped at the top because livestock was being hearded across the road. (It was a stupid spot for them to be crossing the road)
It gave an audible warning a split second before I noticed the vehicle. It didn't prevent me in having a crash as I saw it in time anyway, but in that instance I did appreciate it.

[XR Martin]

As for peak, I reckon the EL was my favourite.
Everything perfectly laid out, better quality materials than a BA and even my FGX in some areas.

Im sure that is the case on occasion but ive had the odd occasion where it detects a gaurd rail on a bend and thinks its going to hit it, even when well below the appropriate speed.

[Dr Smith]

Two weeks before Christmas was rear ended after the following occurred.

5 cars in separate rh turn lane and I'm car #4 in the queue.
We all take off smoothly with reasonable distance between us. Cars #1 & 2 complete turn and drive away....

Car #3 suddenly breaks hard and comes to complete stop in the middle of the intersection. a Tesla 3.
My van (Vito) slams on it's brakes before I can react and skids to stop and car behind hits me...

Tesla drives off and as I realise what's happened cannot see anything that should have made the Tesla brake to an emergency stop...

Another driver not involved comes up and says "what the hell made the car in front of me brake suddenly?"

After this I turned my vans AEB to it's lowest sensitivity...no major damage as tow bar took some of the hit but other insurer will be billed $7000 from my insurer.

I think I could have avoided this as I probably would have braked later and not tried to come to a complete stop as did the AEB activation.

but all these features are now part of ANCAP. Regardless of what the manufacturer claims, they are tested locally to get the stars.

For example MG3 gets 3 stars only. It scored only 58% for Safety Assist (10.62/18)

For AEB at junctions is scores 1/4
For AEB head on it scores 0/4
for AEB car to car it scores 3.54/4

the data is all out there. If people chose to ignore it in the pursuit of a cheap car then they shouldn't complain later.

[DJM83]

AEB in our Tucson works fine and has saved us a few times. It can be abrupt but it works, i think its more the fact that it happens so quickly which id assume is the entire point.
Only 2 issues ive had is when i was reversing into a parallel park and a car came from behind a little quick, not sure how it'd have saved an accident.
And when i like to annoy my wife when she reverses from the garage and i put my hand over the sensor and it activates

Simon-where do you access that data.

The disturbing thing about mitsi au dropping their most popular models is because their existing AEB systems can’t be made to detect pedestrians. You’d think this would be a software change. I think the brand is going to disappear.

[cycle myth]

Yes - many of these autonomous systems need a lot of tuning and refinement to work well AND not be a hazzard.

The Chinese brands will take a few years to get this right.

I hired a Cherry (not my choice was allocated) Lexus on the outside, Audi on the inside.

Lots of tech but the refinement and tuning was such that it was more likley (alot) to cause an accident than stop one. eg. lane keeping aid kept pulling the car in different directions erratically, strongly and without consistency thinking it was out of lane when it wasn't

At least the driver distraction aid worked - it kept warning that I was driving tired because I was trying to find a way to go through the spider web of menus to turn the lane keeping off.......

Can recommend this, we faced same problem and probably will go this path for now.

The crappy AEB executions in some cars gives the vigilant driver something else to worry about, too - will that car in front of me actually turn in the filter lane? Will that car in front of me on the freeway grind to a halt when the concrete barrier at the off ramp is detected? Increased stopping distance is probably for the best now.
